Question

Tomcat fails when Thingworx webapp installed

I'm following the guide for RHEL.  I installed Tomcat 8.5.16 since I couldn't find the noted version.  Tomcat works fine and can be accessed at localhost:8080.  As soon as I add the Thingworx webapp it can no longer be accessed.  Interestingly, if I remove Thingworx.war and the xploded folder while tomcat is still running it I will be able to access the Tomcat welcome page again.  No need to restart.

Hi Anthony, could you check the error in the tomcat log when you are attempting to deploy the ThingWorx war? Which version of ThingWorx are you attempting to install and with which persistence provider?

Enable debug logging for this logger for a complete list of JARs that were scanned but no TLDs were found in them. Skipping unneeded JARs during scanning can improve startup time and JSP compilation time.

Could you please attach the full log here? You would be looking for something with [ERROR]  flag rather than [info]
